Its good for testing web pages during development. I can have 2 tabs logged in as separate users for instance.

Reddit also have an incognito mode (or at least, it has one on Android).

Firefox containers serve this purpose in a more elegant way imo

At my job we mostly work on Chrome, but personally, I use Firefox, but I've never heard of these containers.

It's amazing. Need to be logged in to 10 different accounts at once? Easy

There's even another extension that automatically creates a new container every time you open a new tab if you want

Ah it's an extension, I thought it was a native feature.

Good to know, thanks.

Didn't even see that. No, I use extensions on both Chrome and Firefox. I just thought it was native, I wasn't shitting on extensions.

Doesn’t Chrome share cookies across all incognito windows? Safari is the one that doesn’t.

Yes, very annoying. I just create a separate chrome user profile for each of my personalities.

Use Firefox and their cookie container plugin. I can log into as many aws accounts as I want. Total game changer but I haven’t found a similar one for chrome yet.
